Unable to preview published captivate 6 swf in flash player

When I try to view a published preview of a Captivate 6 project, I am directed to the download Flash player page. I have the pugin installed for my browsers already. I am able to open my local .swf files with Flash Player.
When I click Yes on  the "Publish completed successfully. Do you wish to view the output?" message I am sent here:Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions.
How do I set Flash Player to open the preview files?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Which browser you are using and you may try to add your projects to Flash Player Global Settings.
If you have Flash Player version lower than 10.3, you can manipulate the settings from Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager in the Global Security Settings panel. It can be done using these simple steps:
Select the Always allow radio button on the top to allow security exceptions. This control is marked as "1" in the image below
From the Edit Locations... drop down box, select "Add location..." option to bring up a dialog box. The drop down box is marked as "2" in the image below
Now select Browse for folder... and browse to the location where you are keeping the chart SWF files
After confirming your selection you should see the path of the exception added in area "3" of the image below
Please let me know if that works.
Regards,
Rajeev.

  • Open Swf in flash player

    Is there any way to open a .swf in flash player ? Currently
    whenever i click on a .swf it will open in a browser. I need it to
    be able to open in flash player, like an .exe would. And i know i
    can right click and use open with, but i need it to open in flash
    player on its own, like an .exe would.
    Any ideas on how i can do this ?

    You want to open a new browser window. To do this, you want
    to publish the movie ff.swf to create its own html document. Then
    you want to open that html doc in its own window. To do that you
    would use getURL("ff.html", "_blank"); This will open an whole new
    browser window. If you want a custom window without all of the
    browser chrome, then you will have to use javascript to open that
    window. Do a search on window.open in this forum. You will find
    hundreds of examples.

  • Captivate 7 SWF fails, flash export fails

    Hi there,
    I have recently installed Captivate 7 and an urgent project for a client that is generating bad SWF files and also fails on export to Flash 6 or CC. HTML5 published files works fine
    OSX Maverics, MBA 2012 (8 GB / 512GB). Installed on machine is Adobe CC, CS6.5 etc..
    Steps so far :
    - resinstalled flash player
    - reinstalled captivate
    -changed various settings in captivate for publishing
    Removed security from firefox/safari/chrome
    Adjusted flash player security (and added local file player paths to exclusions)
    Adjust Java settings to prompt only
    Puublished to active www - still fails
    Any ideas ?? I'm all out apart from wiping machine and starting again!
    Thanks

    Took a little while to fix - however, after some kind and thorough troubleshooting with Anurag at Adobe, we identified this as a permissions issue.  I suspect this has something to do with my Mac account having numerous versions of Adobe and/or MS Word accumulated. 
    Solution:
    uninstall both Captivate 7 and MS Word MAC 2011 (v.14.3.8)
    Download and run the cs5 Cleaner utility:
              http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/ cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    3. Log in using the root admin (possibly any admin), and re-installing both apps
    4.  First open MS Word and Captivate, then re-run export.

  • FLV becomes TMT3 when I publish Captivate 5.5 to Flash

    Does anyone know why this is happening? Any pointers would be great.
    I have a Captivate file in which one slide includes 4 FLV files. When I publish to Flash, they somehow become TMT3 files and they do not play on any computer except the PC on which I created the Captivate file.
    I have the Standard, SWF and HTML files in the same folder, and have even placed the TMT3 in the same folder with no success.

    Hi,
    You may have to install the Flash Player standalone player to be able to play the swf directly by double-clicking it. Currently, you are able to play it in browser as you only have the Flash Player browser plug-in and not the standalone Flash Player.
    Try installing the Flash Player projector from the below url as applicable -
    Windows Flash Player 11.7 Projector - http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/11/flashplayer_11_sa.exe
    Macintosh Flash Player 11.7 Projector - http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/11/flashplayer_11_sa.app.zip
      Once you install the above Flash Player projector, in case it still needs to be opened using browser, then you may also need to make Flash Player as the default application to launch any swf file.
    Please reply if that helps.
    Thanks.

  • How to find totalFrames of Captivate 4 .swf in Flash CS4

    I have a series of Captivate4 AS3 .swf files that I am loading into an interface created in Flash CS4.  The files are loading and playing correctly, but I need to find a way to detect when an imported .swf gets to the end of it's timeline so that I can load the next one.
    Here's my code:
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var movieURL:String = "resources/testTestTest.swf";
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(movieURL);
    var currentMovie;
    var endShow:Boolean = false;
    myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
    function loadComplete(evt:Event)
        currentMovie = myLoader.content;
        currentMovie.rdcmndPause = 0; //fails to pause imported .swf
        trace(currentMovie.cpInfoCurrentDate); //fails to trace out
    addChild(myLoader);
    myLoader.load(req);
    Please, help!!

    I forgot to add "contentLoaderInfo" to the myLoader eventListener.  Here's my working code:
    Captivate- output to AS3, make sure Flash player is same as destination
    AS3 code from flash UI:
    //initial variables
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var movieURL:String = "fileName.swf";
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(movieURL);
    var currentMovie:*; //data type movie; use wildcard- data type unavailable at compile time
    myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
    function loadComplete(evt:Event):void
        currentMovie = MovieClip(myLoader.content);//data type imported .swf
        trace("frame count = " + currentMovie.rdinfoFrameCount); //rdinfoFrameCount is a Captivate var
        //trace("current frame = " + currentMovie.rdinfocurrFrame); //rdinfoFrameCount is a Captivate var
    addChild(myLoader);
    myLoader.load(req);
    //set up timer to check to see if current frame == total frames
    var endTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000);//runs every sec.
    endTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
    endTimer.start();
    function onTimer(evt:TimerEvent):void
        //trace("current frame = " + currentMovie.rdinfocurrFrame);
        if((currentMovie.rdinfocurrFrame + 10) >= currentMovie.rdinfoFrameCount) //had to add 10 to current frame
         //write your function here
        endTimer.stop();

  • Controlling External Captivate 5 swf using flash AS3

    Hi,
    I have created a basic Flash AS3 interface in which I am trying to control the navigation (next slide / previous slide) of an external captivate 5 swf which I have added using a loader, but i cant work out the solution.
    My code is currently as follows:
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    var Xpos: Number = 96
    var Ypos: Number = 94
    var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
    my_loader.load(new URLRequest("content.swf"));
    my_loader.x = Xpos;
    my_loader.y = Ypos;
    addChild(my_loader);
    stop();
    nextBut.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,gotonextframe);
    function gotonextframe(event:MouseEvent){
    MovieClip(my_loader.content).rdcmndNextSlide();
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    thanks
    Dez

    Thats perfect, thanks for the reply, much appreciated!
    I guess you have tried:
    rdcmndRewindAndStop
    Set to 1 to rewind and stop the project.

  • Can I publish a SWF for flash player 9

    Is there a way to publish a SWF file that works in older versions of flash player in Catalyst CS5 or do they have to be published in the latest flash player?

    Flash Catalyst projects use Flex 4, which in turn requires Flash Player 10.  Among other things, Catalyst relies on FP 10 features to render text that accurately matches your original imported comps, and to support the "rotate 3D" effects available in the timeline.
    For general web deployment, this requirement shouldn't be a major obstacle: Flash Player 10 is on 95%+ of Internet-connected computers in most markets (and probably 75%+ of enterprise desktops).  Of course circumstances vary, so I apologize if you're stuck due to working in an environment where FP 10 isn't available yet.  In these cases, while you'll have to write your final app in a different technology like Flex 3, we hope you'll still find Catalyst to be a valuable rapid-prototyping tool during earlier stages of production.

  • I suddenly cannot startup Captivate 4 for reason Flash Player for Internet Explorer not installed or older version, but I have verified that Flash Player 16,0,0,235 is installed. Please help.

    Hi,
    I haven't used my Adobe Captivate 4 for a bit, but when I try to start it up, I get the following message:
    "The Flash Player for Microsoft Internet Explorer, is not installed or its an older version.
    You will automatically be redirected to the Adobe website to download the latest Flash Player.
    Please note that the Adobe Captivate cannot be used until the Flash Player is installed."
    Even if I click the OK button and reinstall the Flash Player, I still get the same message, when I try to startup Captivate.
    I have verified that I'm running Flash player 16,0,0,235, which is supposed to be the latest version.
    I'm running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
    Please help.

    The problem is that your version of Captivate 4 needs to be updated with a patch that Adobe used to supply.  (I don't have a link anymore to it.)
    Captivate 4 was unable to recognise Flash Player versions beyond a certain number.  It gives you a misleading  error message that makes it look like you have the wrong version of Flash Player.  But the real problem is that Captivate needs to be patched to recognise the latest FP versions.
    I'm hoping that someone from the Adobe Captivate team will chime in here and give us another link to download the patch.  Otherwise, you really might be forced to upgrade to a newer version of Cp.  However, if your current projects are being built in Cp4, your next issue will be that if you purchase Cp8 it will NOT be able to upgrade your Cp4 projects.  You'd need to download a trial version of Cp5 or 5.5, and do a two-step upgrade.

  • Captivate Fails to See Flash Player

  • Long load time - Publishing Captivate 4 swf with audio to the web

    I created a Captivate 4 project that is 25 slides with narration on each slide.  When I publish this file to swf, it creates the .htm the .swf. and the javascript files.  The audio is making the swf file too big (12mb) to download quickly over the web.  Is there any way that I can externalize the audio or stream the audio in a similar way to an flv?

    Hi there
    When you upload things to test are you certain you are uploading the FLV? I believe Captivate simply calls these as needed and they aren't inside the resulting file.
    On the Aggregator, we need more to go on here. What you posted is a bit like visiting the doctor and just saying you don't feel well. WHERE don't you feel well? What are the symptoms?
    Are there any error messages appearing? What exactly happens on these other machines?
    Cheers... Rick

  • PowerPoint 2010 Graphic color lost in Preview/Publish Captivate 7

    I have a six slide build.  After import, all color in graphics look good except the fist slide in the build.  The color is lost - like a ghost graphic.  Imported in high fidelity for a clear image.  Tried saving the first graphic as a PNG and it seems compressed in size and appears to shift while slide advances.  Cause of the ghost graphic problem?  Any other solutions?  Thank you. 

    Nope - it's not Flash doing it.
    How it looks in PowerPoint:
    And here it is in Captivate (one shot is from a preview, the other from the editor version:
    Note in the lh case the overlapping text in the 2nd and 3rd bullets from the bottom.
    In the rh example, the fx graphic has jumped to the left, also the 4th and 5th bullets are overwriting each other.
    Please also note that the fx and tick/cross box works fine in the lh example, but not in the right.

  • Link to open swf in Flash player

    I am pretty new at flash and I have been slowly learning the
    do's and don'ts of actionscript. I have a problem that I
    can’t seem to figure out. Basically I'm trying to open an SWF
    file inside my current flash presentation, so basically you click a
    button and this SWF file would open I have managed to get this far
    using this code:
    on(release) {
    loadMovie ("ff.swf", 1);;
    However it opens within the same window, so it makes the
    current flash document useless, basically I just want it so you
    click on the link and a new window will open separately so that you
    can view the swf file and click on X when you don't need it.
    Any Help would be much obliged.

  • Captivate 4 - Localize the Flash Player

    Hi,
    I'm a new user of Captivate 4. I've created several tutorials in Captivate 4 and need to localize them into French. I've attempted to follow the steps outlined in the Help document to add a French Play bar (e.g. CPPlaybar_FRA.swf). However, when I check my Captivate files I cannot find the Localisation folder identified in the Help document.
    Do I need to re-install Captivate 4? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Tom

    Hi Lilybri,
    I using Windows XP Professional as OS.
    In the meantime, would it be possible for someone to send me a copy of CPPlaybar_FRA.swf from the Localisation folder?

    If the swf has actionscript in it, then you cannot embed it and still have it work (it will lose its code), so you need to load the file dynamically instead.
